THE WILD WEST

by GG on September 4, 2009

you share my name you share my fate
your old t-shirt wrapped around my dusty face

a tuft of your hair flips in the wind
and your gaze fixes on the nowhere we’ve been

now here comes the sun, rising in the east
and it’s taking my breath, as it moves,
reckless and wild, like a beast

there’s nothing left here on the desert floor
can’t lift my arm to shade you from the warmth

reaching out for your hand as we grasp at the end
the clouds rolling in with the morning again

now here comes the sun, rising in the east
and it’s taking my breath, as it moves,
reckless and wild, like a beast

place my ear to your heart and listen for God
but he doesn’t beat here not a wink not a nod

i think i hear music rolling ‘cross the plain
as i move toward the sound, i’ll be singing
to the rain
